Corey White is relentlessly bashed, and he was a 2 or 3 year project selected in the 5th round.

If SJB doesn't look like Richard Marshall by game 3, those same people will start bashing this pick.

SJB is not, and never was supposed to be a starter in 2014. Those that think that just don't get the whole draft process.

You are absolutely correct Danno. I really do not get the draft process. I still see a second rounder as what should be a potential first year contributor.

Please make sure you're not eating or drinking before reading the next sentence.

I would've rather seen us pick one of the two high potential place kickers available this year than a project. Don't say I didn't warn you...

Why would I not want to draft a kicker? I would have no problem drafting a kicker.

Sorry Danno. I thought I remembered you being a bit less than excited about picking a kicker a couple of years back.

It was punters, I believe.

Ahh. My bad. Old brains don't always get things straight. Although I do have to say that excellent punters (like ours) are worth seven to twelve "projects" at least, too.

HUGE difference between a punter and a kicker, especially if you only have 4 picks and numerous holes to fill.
